Literary Notebook Companion™ for Any Book
Have you wondered how you can incorporate the notebooking approach alongside chapter books or any book your student reads? Using the Literary Notebook Companion™, now you can easily have your students notebook their way through sections and chapters of any book/text.
Included is a schedule grid so you can plan out the sections/chapters your student needs to read. This will help them stay on track!
You will also find notebooking templates for:
- Overview: book title, author, time period, subject, and date started reading. This will server as a wonderful reading log!
- Main Characters: Students will list the main characters in the book as they read through it, providing a character description of each one.
- Chapter/Section Summary #1: chapters read, setting, vocabulary words to look up with space for writing definitions
- Chapter/Section Summary #2: important things to remember, summary/written narration section
- Chapter/Section Summary #3: drawing/sketching box and blank lines for written narration
- Final Summary Questions: questions to help your student evaluate the book, lessons learned, conflict, and opinions, etc.
- Final Written Narration: Students will review the written narration pages for each section/chapter and put together a final summary of the book/text. There are two templates included, one with blank lines for writing only and one with a box to draw and sketch along with blank lines.

This is really only for Fiction books. It works great for what I needed it for. I use it to go with my 5th graders “free reading” to show reading comprehension and to help him later when I ask him to do whichever type of book report we use for that semester.

I got this to use because I couldn’t find a printable study guide for a classic book my children are reading this year. But it’s great because you can schedule reading days, chart character development, and it’s open-ended. I am looking forward to reading their thoughts on this book.
